Perhaps the best hotel at Ilha Grande. Located away from Abrao. 5 min by hotel boat taxi, cost 20 BRL (4 USD) during the day hours and 40 BRL (8 USD) when it is dark, i.e. after 6pm. Walking is impossible for much of the time as the pathway is frequently flooded. Make sure you call/send whatsapp message to the reception in advance about your trips there and back. There is normally one trip every hour. The boat is quite small and at the beginning hard to identify but after a while you get used to it. Location away from Abrao is good for some if one needs a quiet secure place and a disadvantage if you need some more life around but then again using the boat helps in getting a good balance of everything. The property itself is very good, comfortable, the views are stunning. The staff members are very helpful. Regarding Ilha Grande I had a tour around some beaches, which was not bad. However if you wish to visit the best place then forget other beaches and go Lopes Mendes. Getting there is a quest but worth it: you first go by water taxi to Pouso beach (located in inner lagoon, no big waves) and then walk 20 min through the forest. One could walk all the way from Abrao but that is then few hours. The beach closer to sunset is really stunning. Overall, great experience at Ilha Grande. Thanks a lot.

We were looking forward to our stay at Asalem. I had planned this trip for months and had great expectations for this property. The place looked amazing on pictures, the location was perfect. On site we arrived late afternoon, the hostess was great and dinner was ok. The following day breakfast service was great. However our rooms did not look like in the pictures, the rooms were old, with chipped wood and cracked slabs. The worst was the wholes in the sheets and the bedding and towels were in poor shape and even with mold. The bathrooms were old and had a bad smell but most of all they were not clean. My daughter and I used our sandals to shower as we did not want to step on the shower bare foot. The floor of the rooms, the outlets, curtains, doors were all in bad shape and in urgent need of repair. My family was very disappointed and even though we had originally planned to extend our stay, we decided one night there had been enough. I am sure their newer rooms are better and that everything is great there but the pictures are not accurate to the current state, the property should show current pictures of the older units so that guests know what they are accepting when booking. Still this does not make up for the lack in higiene.

We spent 4 nights at Asalem. We enjoyed our time very much. We stayed at the chalet which was spacious and has amazing views of the bay. The hotel serves the best caipirinhas in town and the food they serve is also very good. There are lots of steps to take each day so you have to be fit enough to climb those. A little boat brings you to the village and back. It’s a very special place we can highly recommend.

Great little hotel with best caipirhnas in brazil
This place was a great value find. Nathalia is what makes this place a home from home. She was always happy and super helpful. So was the other lady who i think was her sister maybe. The breakfast view was great and its just so peaceful. The taxi service from the main port to hotel was easy to navigate with whatsapp and not to expensive. The happy hour was great and we tasted a lot of caipirihnas in Brazil but they did the best. The rooms are a bit basic but it's a remote island so expect more rustic besides we didn't spend much time in the room. But it's very eco which is a good thing.

Disliked: Amenities
Asalem had great views and a decent breakfast spread. The manager, Natalia, was wonderful and made us feel very comfortable and welcome. However, there are not many amenities here. The rooms had no hair dryer or television. The dock area, which is the only swimming area) had only 2 floaties so unless you're proficient at floating in deep water, you have to wait. Also be aware that this location is not walkable to the town, and you need to pay the ferry each time you take it - only checkin/out is free. This property would not be suitable for those with small children either - there are a lot of areas that are not safely enclosed that a small child/toddler could easily fall (10 feet), including the rooms (bed is in the loft area, which is only protected by a single rope) and the stairs to the rooms (again, only a rope handrail in most areas). You need to place your dinner orders by the afternoon if you are dining at the hotel so you can't decide too late. But the drinks/food are good.

Room needs upgrade. Doors don't shut well and windows need new screen as they have many holes in them allowing insects to come in. We did notice that some of the rooms seem to be upgraded. Also, there's no way to walk to the village. The access is only by boat so you have to plan ahead.

beautiful place.
Very friendly and helpful staff, some of the most beautiful views of Ilha Grande. It’s a good 15/20 min walk to the main village but depending on your mobility could be hard to access by foot however the hotel offers a regular taxi boat over. It’s a lovely little place that is so chilled and relaxing and the perfect place to sit outside your room with a caipirinha and look at the most stunning scenery. rooms are a little basic but you’re on a fairly secluded island and it does have everything you need!

No value for your $$ if you stay at asalem propert
The hotel has great view and friendly staff and the room was nice size. But here are the items that drops the rating for this hotel: Only 8 rooms, to get to our room we had to climb exectly 44 steps at multi levels. We had no hot water the first night due to a storm and lack of backup system. The water was black and brown manager explain due to storm. The hotel is secluded and to get to town you must take a water taxi the hotel charges for each person $5 usa dollar this info is not available when you book at hotel.com. Internet not reliable sparotic outages. No water for drinking in room has to be purchased while evry hotel provides. At over $200+ per night this hotel is no value for your $$ you will be disappointed or reduce the rate. I have communicated my frustration to shift manager a woman I forgot the name she could care less and ignored my comments. To get to a beach you need to walk on narrow path (hotel down not tell you they claim 20 minutes) if you are with kids or mature person it takes over 40 minutes on a sleepers trail. Bugs in room is common.

Nice remote spot.
This place is off the beaten path. Which is both really cool or could be seen as bad. I liked it. We took boats and swam to beaches but didn't have to stay in the town which is a little more youthful and party. The staff is awesome! Like they couldn't be better. There are bugs but it's in the jungle so you can't really avoid that. Just make sure you have bug repellent.
